during the week, I have one pair of pants for everyday of the week, and the blouses that go with them. On Monday, I wear black pants with a green blouse, Tuesday, brown with a brown and black blouse, Wednesday, stripped with a colorful blouse, Thursday again brown with a red blouse, and Friday again black with a black and green blouse.
I tried a system like that after reading about it on Joel's site (whihc, sadly, no longer exists) but I usually have different classes on different days and I realized that by rotating my clothes like that, I was *still* giving the appearance of wearing the same clothes every day because my monday class always saw me in my monday clothes, etc.
So I tried making a new system and it got really complicated. Some of the people in one of my classes are in another so I can't just wear one thing all week or they'll notice. I had to make a system where I was wearing something different every day and not the same thing on monday, etc.
I wanted to stagger things so I was rotating through six outfits instead of five - so the outfit worn on Monday in week one would be the outfit worn on Tuesday in week two, Wednesday in week three, etc. but I didn't have enough outfits.
Plus, since I don't like to put things back in my closet after I wear them but don't have the resources to do laundry every day, I ended up with all my clothes laid along the back of the couch in the living room instead of hanging in my closet where they belonged.
Finally I just gave up and went back to wearing the same thing every day until it needed washing when I would switch to the next thing. It's just too exhausting to try so hard to put up the proper appearance to please others. My body is decently covered, my body and clothes are not smelly, and that's as far as I can go for other people.
